Caustic may also refer to: Caustic (band), an American industrial/powernoise band; Caustic (mathematics), the envelope of rays reflected or refracted by a manifold; Caustic (optics), optic phenomenon due to light rays reflecting/refracting through curved surfaces/objects; Caustic Graphics, a graphics technology developer, part of Imagination ...
Caustics produced by a glass of water, visible as patches of light Cardioid caustic at the bottom of a teacup Caustics made by the surface of water Caustics in shallow water In optics , a caustic or caustic network [ 1 ] is the envelope of light rays which have been reflected or refracted by a curved surface or object, or the projection of that ...
Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye and caustic soda, [1] [2] is an inorganic compound with the formula NaOH. It is a white solid ionic compound consisting of sodium cations Na + and hydroxide anions OH −. Sodium hydroxide is a highly corrosive base and alkali that decomposes lipids and proteins at ambient temperatures and may cause severe ...
Pellets of soda lye (sodium hydroxide) Pellets of potash lye (potassium hydroxide)Lye is a hydroxide, either sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.The word lye most accurately refers to sodium hydroxide (NaOH), [citation needed] but historically has been conflated to include other alkali materials, most notably potassium hydroxide (KOH).
Alkali salts are soluble hydroxides of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, of which common examples are: Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) – often called "caustic soda" Potassium hydroxide (KOH) – commonly called "caustic potash" Lye – generic term for either of two previous salts or their mixture
A sarcastic response written on a table that reads "Wow, you are SO deep!" Sarcasm is the caustic use of words, often in a humorous way, to mock someone or something. [ 1 ] Sarcasm may employ ambivalence , [ 2 ] although it is not necessarily ironic . [ 3 ]
Caustic potash or potash lye: potassium hydroxide (KOH) Carbonate of potash, salts of tartar, or pearl ash: potassium carbonate (K 2 CO 3) Chlorate of potash: potassium chlorate (KClO 3) Muriate of potash (MOP) potassium chloride (KCl:NaCl = 95:5 or higher) [1] Nitrate of potash or saltpeter: potassium nitrate (KNO 3) Sulfate of potash (SOP ...
Reflective caustic generated from a circle and parallel rays. On one side, each point is contained in three light rays; on the other side, each point is contained in one light ray. In differential geometry, a caustic is the envelope of rays either reflected or refracted by a manifold. It is related to the concept of caustics in geometric optics ...
